Coinparty - A Virtual Coin-Slot for Games! Tournament Announcement!!

I built a virtual coin-slot for players to purchase digital goods directly through an in-game vending machine!!! The project will allow server owners to place this virtual merchant and accept BCH as payment for in-game goods. This marks a major milestone in my Coinparty hackathon project, I've fully implemented the tech and it's now LIVE on my servers! Over 1000 people will see this booth each day, I think this is going to really help adoption in this space! To further promote adoption, I've organized a BCH PRIZE TOURNAMENT for my Rust server!! I'm giving away $100 USD in BCH to 24 contestants. Watch the broadcast of the tournament at twitch.tv/mrsquidtwitch when we go LIVE tomorrow, January 17th, 11am West / 2pm East / 7pm BST!! Big thanks to my Flipstarter backers for the tournament funds! If you've received CCK tokens please VOTE FOR ME by sending the tokens to the address below!! https://devpost.com/software/tommygun-s-coin-slot Finally got the coin slot booth in game and fully launched!! Vote for me!! submitted by /u/thompson_codes [link] [comments]

Electronics stores that accept BTC?

Looking to get some new stuff for PC with the BTC I have left in my Wallet. Any online stores like Best Buy or Micro Center accept crypto?

How do people use crypto-backed loans to avoid capital gains tax?

I've seen quite a few people recently talking about using something like BlockFi to borrow USD against their BTC, instead of selling and paying CGT. How does this work?

Say I want to buy a new car for $40,000. I have some BTC I bought years ago for cheap, but don't want to pay CGT by selling my BTC to pay for the car.

In theory I could borrow $40,000 from BlockFi and put up 1 BTC as collateral, right? Then I use that $40,000 to buy the car.

But I still have to pay back the loan - won't I have to sell 1 BTC on an exchange in order to pay off the $40,000 (+ interest) loan? Thereby incurring CGT on that exchange transaction?

Is there something I'm missing here? I can't see how crypto-backed loans help avoid tax at all
